Nāṣir al‑Dīn Abū al‑Abbās Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Manṣūr ibn Abī al‑Qāsim al‑Judhāmī al‑Iskandarī (Arabic: ناصر الدين أبي العباس أحمد بن محمد بن منصور بن أبي القاسم الجذامي الإسكندري); commonly known as Ibn al-Munayyīr (Arabic: ابن المنير; 620–683 AH/ 1223–1284 CE) was a celebrated Sunni Egyptian scholar, Mālikī jurist, hadith scholar, Qurʾānic exegete, grammarian, rhetorician, theologian, preacher (khāṭib), and judge (qāḍī) based in Alexandria during the late Ayyubid and early Mamluk periods. He is often mentioned alongside Ibn Daqīq al-ʿĪd and Shihāb al‑Dīn al‑Qarāfī as one of the three foremost scholars in Egypt of his era.
